About the Author
- Todd Medema is the author of How To Surf A Hurricane, a heist thriller showing that stories about climate change and adaptation can be fun and hopeful. He wrote it because he believes the future doesn't have to be a dystopia, and he got tired of only reading stories of doom and gloom. He is currently working on a new novel in the Hurricane universe.
- Todd studied Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Design at Carnegie Mellon University. After working on self-driving cars and board games, he discovered a passion for clean energy. He spent four years working on grid-scale battery storage and now offers Product Management consulting to clean energy companies.
- Todd spends his free time playing games, climbing rocks, and gleefully riding his electric bike everywhere.
